Big Asswipe Gigantes fan here; well, still pull for them. Baseball left me, I didn't leave baseball.

Anyway, Dodgers suck, so do you.

My biggest problem with the Dodgers was growing up near LA. I went to a lot of games at Chavez Ravine as a kid.

I still remember playing catch with Wes Parker in my LL Uni when I was 11.

What an Asswipe

[Joe Bob]

My Dadz worked for a company that had box seats four rows up from the first base dugout. I saw tons of hall of famers in their decline as he got the sucko tixs that the execs higher than said NFW.

Still saw the longest running infield, Koufax, Drysdale, Valenzuela etc.

Giants and Roseboro incident. uglee The Doyers even signed the asswipe that pitched for them....took me a minute, Juan Marichal.

Time to see if the Dodgers can buy another ring. Losing to the Giants all season? Just spend another $20 mil at the trade deadline... It's only money!

TEAM TOTAL PAYROLL
1. Los Angeles Dodgers $194,839,000
2. New York Yankees $179,040,714
3. New York Mets $166,904,168
4. Los Angeles Angels $162,193,094
5. San Diego Padres $153,220,000
6. Houston Astros $150,300,833
7. Boston Red Sox $147,870,000

When the O'Malley's owned them they had a great farm system. Since then the new owners throw money.

Since all pro sports are whores and pimps. I support none but root for a few.

BTW, the Yankees suck too.

Meanwhile the Cleveland Traffic Statues have a payroll of $23.5 mil...only $170 million behind the top spot!

I was in the cheap seats, but the stadium made it easy to see the game.

When I was 12, LL day, we were in the upper deck behind home plate, three or four rows off the edge.

We all made paper airplanes from the official program. One of mine flew along the lift along the first base line, banked over the field behind first and came in over the pitcher and landed, I kid you not, on home plate.

Ump had to call time.

I remember it like yesterday.

At Candlestick, the same paper airplane would have caught a 60 knot wind, flown to flight level 18, iced up, stalled and plowed into a spectator.

Plus when you wake up yer still in Cleveland.

I wouldn't doubt it. I attended a giants game at that God awful park once when a dust devil deposited the opposing pitchers hat into the stands. Both teams were laughing so hard the ump called a time out

Not any more. There's only one team in first in the NL West and one team with the best record. Go asswipe Gigantes! I think I saw Ben Stein in the stands saying:

It ain't over till it be over....

[DonDavis]

I ain't got no prob with the actual LA Doyers players or team. It's the completely unhinged ass wipe fans that are the worst.
And for the record, I'm not lumping Joey Bob in that group, I'm sure he's great to shoot the breeze with and all.

As much as I'd love to visit Chavez Ravine and have a Dodger Dog, no way I'll set foot in that place.

Yeah, yeah...my loss. But somehow, I sleep just fine.

Oh yeah, Go Giants!

Arizona has had a rough season, for sure. Just uncanny how bad it's been.

[mattdavis11]

Let me know when the paint dries!

Donny, Bubbi...make the trek

Another quick Sea Story.

Another upper deck day at the Ravine...I am sitting beside and older man in a Giants hat one row off the rail (I remember these things)...after a few minutes he knows I am a Giant fan.

On Willie McCovey's second at bat, the old guy next to me, who was keeping score (baseball fans will know what I am talking about), says, "I'll bet you 25 cents Mr. McCovey hits one out this at bat".

I think I had a dollar on me.

"Ok." Please, I knew odds even then.

Two pitches later Willie is rounding the bases at a trot.

I know there is supposed to be a, "here, Kid, here's your money back" moment.

Nope.

Love the Ravine.

Complicating factor for me is I admire Max S., who I saw pitch twice at Nationals Park...he is a great baseball player in all connotations of the term.

Max came up with the Diamondbacks. MLB debut outing he threw 5 innings of perfect ball. I figured then he'd be special.

They let him go because of concern of his, in their terms, "violent delivery and head snap".

So bummed to see him go.

Then Bauer came up. Saw him pitch once. Arrived early to see his pregame routine.
He was throwing from deep left to right field from almost the foul line.
Whacky dude. We'll see what the investigation turns up.

Oh yeah, go Giants!

That is cool re Max. He is just, and you know this, the calm in a storm, a great baseball player.

Go Giants indeed.

I have been invited to Oracle Park a number of times...I need to just go do it.

Boyz, the O's suck.....

Dooo eeet.

I saw Lincecum pitch there against the Mets in '09. Amazing baseball setting/venue/vibe/garlic fires...all of it.

We were sitting just past 1B, about 30 rows up. His delivery made him look only 3' high as the ball left his hand. IIRC, his stride was ~130% of his overall height. Just a big slingshot.

[3rd_gear_Ted]

I got Shoei Ohtani's autograph at his introductory press conference @ the Big A after an AX event i attended.
43 homers, hit ball speed records, 20 stolen bases and pitches @100 mph.

[Joe Bob]

Good score, have you found any of his rookie cards? Get as many as you can and then seal them in jewel cases.
